Canadian Diversity Learning Circles

Using Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA) group facilitation methods participants share stories; draw from the group’s wisdom to up with a few ‘keys to success’: and explore what can be done in any group or institution

The facilitator engages the group in a series of conversations and utilizes adult learning techniques to create a safe space where this is a ‘circle’ of teaching and learning

All participants are invited to share their perspectives

Some participants become Diversity Change Agents and prepare to lead their own project and facilitate complex discussions to promote diversity and inclusion

You will learn to

Be a Diversity Change Agent/Leader for Canadian diversity and inclusion

Speak the language of diversity and understand legislation; concepts; definitions

Build bridges with those who do not “buy into” the benefits of diversity

Facilitate a diversity conversation for small and large groups

Prepare and deliver your own Diversity Learning Circles in any group or institution
